Allen Suspended from Football Program

Liberty Head Football Coach Turner Gill announced Tuesday that running back Aldreakis Allen has been suspended from the football program for a violation of team policy.

Due to student privacy laws, no University/Athletics Department official or Liberty University student-athlete is allowed to comment or provide additional details regarding this matter.

Allen led the Flames and ranked No. 2 in the Big South, rushing for 1,019 yards and 10 touchdowns during the 2012 season. The Colbert, Ga., native had four 100-yard rushing performances last year and was the ninth player in program history to rush for 1,000 yards in a single season.

Liberty's football program is currently in its spring practice workouts and will play its annual spring football game at Williams Stadium on April 13.
